Bio
http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/b/6/b/4/event_146506772.jpegSpencer Rascoff is the CEO of Zillow, one of the largest real estate websites. He grew up in New York (go Dalton Tigers!) and then LA (go Harvard-Westlake Wolverines!). He got his BA at Harvard and then worked at Goldman-Sachs as an investment banker, and at TPG as a private equity investor. While at TPG in 1999, he co-founded Hotwire, a leading discount travel company which he sold to Expedia in 2003. He left Expedia in 2005 with several colleagues to help get Zillow started, and that's where you'll still find him.
